Lipno Magistrale (53 km, 229 m elevation)
The main artery for relaxing cycling at Lipno. Almost flat along the left bank connecting Vyšší Brod, Lipno, Frymburk, and Nová Pec. Ideal for a full-day trip with the family.
A very popular cycling trip for families at Lake Lipno. It combines riding on flat terrain along the water, swimming at beaches, ice cream, and as the highlight – returning by ferry. Ideal for children who can already ride a few kilometers or are carried in a seat/trailer.
We have personally ridden this route with our children – we know where to stop for swimming, where to refuel, and what children really enjoy. The start is in Frymburk, where there is a beach with a playground and refreshments right by the cycle path. From there, you ride safely and almost completely on flat ground towards Lipno nad Vltavou – even smaller children on bikes, scooters, or balance bikes can handle it.
In Lipno, a great stop awaits at the beach – children will enjoy swimming and ice cream, parents coffee or lunch. The route then continues to Přední Výtoň, where you will find the last large sandy beach with refreshments before the path to Frýdava. After Výtoň, you can also go down to the water – the small beaches here are almost always empty. It’s “wild” swimming, without refreshments, but children see it as an adventure and parents appreciate the peace.
From Frýdava, the biggest experience for children is the ferry back to Frymburk. Just be careful – no swimming at the ferry landing, it’s reserved for boats.🎥 Watch the video from the section of the Family Lakeside Cycle Path.
From 5:03 minutes (303th second), you will see the route along the lake – although the video goes in the opposite direction, it beautifully shows the safe flat terrain, beaches, and refreshments on the way.
Drones and on-bike shots will give you a clear idea of why this Lake Lipno cycle path for children is so popular.
Why is it an ideal route for children?
- almost flat, short sections between stops
- smooth asphalt, suitable even for balance bikes and skates
- leads away from roads, so no stress from cars
- swimming: beach in Frymburk, water access points along the Frymburk–Lipno path, and beach in Lipno
- refreshments in Frymburk and Lipno on every corner – ice cream, pancakes, bistro, and coffee for parents
- the Frýdava – Frymburk ferry is an experience in itself for children
Parenting tips
- Take swimsuits right from the start – the beach in Frymburk is great before and after the trip; in Lipno, it’s a given too.
- Plan stops according to the “children’s fuel” – ice cream, pancake, playground. It works.
- Skates? Yes. Just expect a higher number of cyclists in high season and keep children on the right side.
- The ferry is the highlight – it motivates children even on the way back. (No swimming at the ferry landing.)
